A Koeloe Bom ante and. Ita Beality,
At a pendant to tbe narrative of tbe hor
rible butchery f General Canby and tbe
Ptae Commissioner by tbo treacherous
Modoc whilst conduitiog peace talk," a
touching story hat bees published ol the
maataor twenty yean ago, oa tbo tame
pat where Canby fell, ol a party or Modoc
who naracprotlngly placed tbmlve to
lb power of an army offlaer tor a peace
eoofereooe. The ttdry ran that a parly or
trtopt and Mttlert under tbo lead of Cap
lain Wright, of tbe United Stele Army,
ad beta la pursuit of Modoc band and
cane up with them In the Lava Bed. - The
Modou were too numerous aod too well
placed lo be openly attacked by tbe white,
and after tome parleying tbo Modoc ware
prevailed on to eocae unarmed Into Captain
Wright's tamp for a feast aod peace talk.
Tby came, and when safely In the power
Ot the troop were ihot down like dog.
Some mad their escspe but were hotly
panned, and wltb their women and bll
dron were iluightered a tbey(rn. On
highly romantic venlon of' tbojogand eaid
that several ef tbe Modoc fugitive, Hading
tbeotatlvo on tbo edge ol a precipice and
no chance of escape, etoed In line on tb
brink of tha chasm, tang their death long,
and the jumped off and wen dashed to
piece on th rack. Capt, Wright, it I
narrated, wa eventually tlaln by on ol
the Modoo tribe, wbo bad tworn veoganc
him, and the perpetrator of lb recent
butcher an said to be lb children of tbe
oietghered brave, wbo hv thus Mlallatad
on U wronger of tb sir race
That la a very Interesting tale of tb
blood aod vooganoe kind, aod will undoubt
. diy turcitb tntwtut (or mote then, on
dime novel. But there It another tide to
the tlory. To begin with, then wet no
Captain Wright ol tbe United 8tatu Army.
Ctpt. Ben. Wright wit limply a bnnter
and tripper, Innocent of any connection
witbUncle fcam'e Army Regltter, If toll lo
nooenee extended no (erther, and at the
time In qneition be wa living at Yrcka,
then a mining oamp. la those day tbe
borroreorthe "overland route" jwera at
their height. Tbe wagon track "acroM Ibe
contlnntH" wee marked with skeletons, and
the savage hoveled on tbe trail of tbe emi
grant, watching an opportunity to kill and
plunder. Tbe Modoc were particularly
busy lo tbia work, and their murderous ex
pioltt nearly broke up travel in that direc
tion. When tbe limit of patieooe bad been
reached, tbe mlnert and tattleri determined
on clearing out Ibe lavage. Wright wat
called on by tbe general voice to lake the
lead, and wltb band of determined men
be tet out. Tbe bodlet of tbe murdered
vlcllmi ot ravage brutality were first buried,
and tbli leak didaotnot leeien tbe indigo
tloa agaioit tbe murderer. That work
done, Wright and bl men followed Ibe Ho
doc atealtbily until tbe lavage, about
three hundred In number, were found en
camped In the bend of a deep and rapid
fiver. Tbe wbltea were outnumbered by
tbe Indiana, three to one, aid tbe Modoc,
dlteoverlng thlt, propoted a 'peace talk."
It wet tet lor morning, and Wright ipeot
the alght lo watching tho foe, lutpeotlng
Ibey meditated treaohery. The proof of
that lolentioo became plain, and Wright
knew that tbe only hope of talety for hi
band retted in prompt aod ipeedy action.
Tbe flm blow itruok by Wright' men, just
in time to prevent their own annihilation,
an In the desperate Bgbt that followed near-
ly all tbe Modoc were tlato. Had Wright
been a "Peace Commissioner" be and bl
party would have met the fate of Canby
and bit companion. Being an old hunter,
familiar wltb Indian wiyt and wile, be
struck at tbe proper moment, and bl aealp
remained a few yean longer on bl skull.
There I no use trying to get up any ro
mance about tbo Modoc. They are a t
ol treacherous, muiderou bug eaten, and
nothing elte.
